Climate change is an urgent issue that requires a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach. This book combines the fields of science and economics to highlight the critical need for measures to limit cumulative carbon emissions. It provides a roadmap for implementing these measures, utilizing the carbon budget framework to assess the shortcomings of current policies and the ongoing debates surrounding them. The book delves into the political dimensions of climate change, emphasizing that business opposition to necessary policies extends beyond the fossil fuel industry. It calls for a radical rebalancing of power to address this challenge effectively.
In contrast to the prevailing perspectives in mainstream economics, which suggest that climate change can be addressed while causing minimal disruption to the global economy, this book challenges that notion. The author argues that it is not only impossible but also dangerously complacent to hold such a view. The book offers a fresh perspective and proposes innovative solutions to tackle climate change while promoting sustainable development and social equity.
Overall, this comprehensive study provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on climate change. It sheds light on the urgency of the situation, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. By advocating for a more radical and proactive approach, the book aims to inspire action and drive towards a sustainable future for generations to come.
